The land here is ancient. Chepstowe Vineyard is in Carngham, or Kurnum as it was once known. Today the responsibility for tending the vines is Matt Thain, buying in 2004 from Bill and Lyn Wallace who established the vineyard in 1994. Legend has it that Dominique Landragin, born and bred in the Champagne region in France, sat upon the hill at Chepstowe and declared the site perfect for wine.

Chepstowe Vineyard weathers the elements. The vines are testament to their heritage, and as in all cool climates, yield is low. In 2010 the vines were burnt to in a bush fire, but with tending and care have returned. 2018 brought the first vintage after the fire. In dedication to the cause and the tradition of vitners, Matt continues to refine and coax ever deeper flavours from his vintages so you might enjoy.

And a alliance with Alex Byrne as wine maker has          enabled fine wines of balance and finesse.
